Curtis Jones scored Liverpool's second goal of the game but had to wait a while for VAR to confirm it before Cody Gakpo's strike was ruled out
The Premier League have confirmed that Darwin Nunez was in an offside position after Cody Gakpo was denied a second goal against Leicester City at Anfield . The Dutchman thumped into the back of the net for what would have been Liverpool's third of the evening after coming from a goal down, but the strike was ruled out after a lengthy wait.
The midfielder netted Liverpool's second of the game four minutes into the second half but had to wait several minutes for the goal to be confirmed. It wasn't exactly clear what officials in Stockley Park were looking for, with Nunez clearly in an offside position and both Virgil van Dijk and Gakpo also potentially offside - but none were interfering with play at the time. Instead it was Salah, who initially appeared comfortably onside, that officials were checking.
